Getting into real estate in this market

[Munther Saadeh]

Hope all is well.

I am new to this forum, and started listening to the bigger pockets podcast a few weeks ago. I have been interested in getting into real estate by purchasing a duplex/triplex to learn the ropes. Not sure if this market, is a smart market to get into. Working in the mortgage industry, I see homes are selling for way more than they are worth. (Chicago land area). Any advice and or words of wisdom, would be much appreciated!

Thank You!
